If this show came out today without any changes, right-wingers would be decrying it as "woke" the same way they're doing now to its upcoming continuation.

Yeah the Friends of Humanity are some real disgusting people. I was getting pissed off seeing the things they were doing. Legit domestic terrorists.
And somehow worse than their counterparts irl.
I don't know about
that
. By this point, Trump's cult of personality disorders bear an uncanny resemblance to the FoH. The only things that differentiate the two to me are that:
-
The Friends of Humanity are fictional
-
The Friends of Humanity target specifically mutants
-
The Friends of Humanity ditched Graydon Creed Jr. in the end
Personally, I chalk it up to how the hateful idiots that Claremont was railing against when he wrote his original run of the X-Books from the '70s to the very early '90s (which the bulk of the show drew from, as did all later comic runs and adaptations) never
really
went away.
